    The weird ‘scientists’ at The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery (NSID) have been at it again, and this time they are working on a device that allows your dog to talk to you.

    Describing themselves as an art collective that ‘uses capitalism to break the ice on the frozen seas within ourselves’, the NSID has some weird ideas floating around, and every now and then these ideas actually translate into reality. Well, a kind of reality at least. If you have never browsed their website, we suggest you do so to get an idea of the weird science these artists/scientists come up with.

    The team at NSID previously brought the world the Irock, a rocking chair that doubles as an iPad charger, the Aalto Puck, an oddly shaped ‘non-facist’ hockey puck, as well as the first pug-supporting flying carpet.

    Ok, so it’s difficult to figure out if they really are on the cutting edge of invention, or whether they’re a bunch of nutters that love to start the day with ‘what if..’ But you have to love their ‘out of the asylum’ thinking. Particularly the No More Woof.

    No More Woof, or NMW, is a device that reads your pooch’s brainwaves via EEG and translates it into human language. The device is advertised on the somewhat dodgy crowdfunding site gadgetany.com, and although it seems like a spoof, there has been quite a bit of interest in the product. The inventors themselves have alluded to the fact that it is only a prototype and that ‘further development is needed to bridge the gap between human and animal language’, but you can still order the odd-looking device.

    Currently, the prototypes come in three options, with each one offering a wider range of ‘conversation’. At R1 200 you can get the basic set, which allows your dog to convey tiredness, hunger, and curiosity, but there is also the R21 000 option that allows your pet to speak in short sentences – “I am hungry, but I don’t like this food.”

    Check out their video below:

    As we said, with NSID you are never quite sure if it’s the real deal or just a spoof. Their inventions have however received a great deal of interest and they often feature in both scientific and art publications.

    Whether your dog would want to walk around with a crazy device like this strapped to his head is doubtful, but what I do know is that if my dog could talk, I wouldn’t tell him anything.
